Sticker effects on 'other' entities

[kizrak]

Prototype/Sticker says that it only effects Prototype/Unit, Prototype/Character and Prototype/Car entities.

I would love to see an API for stickers to also effect buildings / turrets / structures / etc. In particular, I would love to have stickers that can modify the attack speed of turrets and worms. ❤ I would also love to see a sticker effect that disables other buildings.

Modify attack speed/range:

• Turret (Worms)
• ArtilleryTurret
• CombatRobot

Stop spawning (spawn at lower evolution level?) (reset pollution gathered?) (disable absorption of pollution?):

• EnemySpawner

Act as if they were not getting power, or receiving circuit wire signal to disable them:

• CraftingMachine
• Inserter
• Lab
• MiningDrill
• OffshorePump
• Pump
• Radar
• Roboport
• Beacon
• ElectricTurret

Stop them from generating power:

• SolarPanel
• Boiler
• BurnerGenerator
• Generator
• Turret

Slow/Stop movement/etc, similar to Prototype/Unit:

• FlyingRobot
• RollingStock

Zero out (or subtract from) their energy storage:

• Accumulator
• Roboport

I would love to be able to give players weapons that could disable/hinder worms and spawners. But I believe there is strong potential for a mod that would give biters an artillery type worm that could attack/disable the players base without permanent effects (like damage). Something that would force players to attack a very specific location, forced exploration/adventure/etc.

I'm hoping there is some low hanging fruit in one or more of these aspects /concepts / idea / requests

Thanks ❤,

Sorry, but this isn't going to happen. Stickers have an impact on the thing using them even when not used - making anything that supports stickers more complicated and fragile to even have support for them.
